About Me

I am 27 year old man that since 2015 has developed a strong passion for traveling. I live with my dad and two dogs in Alajuela, Costa Rica (second biggest city in the country). I studied Business Administration and Finance during 7 years at the Costa Rica Techonology Institute (TEC). I am currently working at a Finance position for an American company here in Costa Rica and I have a girlfriend who loves to travel as well.
I love reading, music (metal, rock and progressive are my favs!), all related to airplanes and airports, food! I love spending time with my family (I have a little nephew whom I adore).
Currently we are working on some changes at home. Hopefully we will free a room soon!

As for today, I have managed to visit Costa Rica (you never end to know your own country), Spain, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, France, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Peru, Belize and Colombia. I hope the list keeps growing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the greatest things about traveling is getting to know people, live the experience of each country as if you had lived there all your life. I believe this kind of memories are the ones worthy, and Couchsurfing is an open door to it!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music: Prog, Rock and Metal. I love Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Opeth, Angra, Dream Theater, etc.

My favorite books: La sombra del viento and all the related saga from Spanish writer Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I love Camilla Lackberg's books also.

Favorite movie: Star Wars, The Rock, Jurassic Park.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting both Machu Picchu and the Cliffs of Moher was one great "interior" experience. Such an inside peace and calm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty obsessed with my own native tongue, so I can teach Spanish if necessary. I can share a lot of the Costa Rican culture, as I am a pretty easy going person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All that can be good and necessary to make them feel at home!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, England, France, Ireland, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain
